EXCITING TIMES AT ST. STEPHENS.
Father Donnelly's Locks Broken and the
Church in Possession of Women.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
NEW YORK, JAN 25.-The excitement in St.
Stephens parish has considerably increased
from thu rumor circulated to-day that Father
Donnelly has been removed from the pastorate
and SEMI back to St Mchael's, his old parish. The
reaeoa...aigned is the hatred which his conduct
has stirred up in the hearts OF the congregation.
Color was given to the rumor from the refusal of
Father Donnelly to either deny affirm it The
interior of the church and basement is
in disgraceful condition. The usual
time for commencing service in the church
is O'clock, but it was o'clock before
the rst mass was sail It is said that but for the
aggressiveness of the women, who are credited
with smashing the new locks placed on the base
ment by Father Donnelly, it would not have
been opened even them All day long the
scene was exciting An attempt was
made, early in the morning, to remove the pict
ture of Father McGlynn from the confessional
box. but, after a fierce struggle with the women,
the adherents of Father Donnelly were van
qushed and a fresh supply Of flowers was
brought by a number of children and ladies and
the box redecorated. 1--WE don't propose to allow
Father Donnelly to keep US out of own
church." said a parishioner to-day; "all the locks
he puts on viii be broken by us, and he will not
get money enough in the parish to buy locks
strong enough to keep us out"
One OF the first to enter the basement was
Maggie Cream, who had been so ANONYMOUSLY
elected the day before, and she kept guard over
the box all day. Several hundred other women
kept her company. When the time came for
closing the church the basement was thronged
and when Father Donnelly entered he was
greeted with storm of groans and Kisses, while
all crowded around him. and grave fears were
entertained that he would receive bodily injury.
great roar broke from the crowd, and Father
Donnelly escaped upstairs.

ANXIOUS FOR PLACES.

Crowds of Applicants for the Positions Gre
ated by the Interstate Commerce Law.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Charles FL.
Van Wyck, of Nebraska is being prominently
mentioned as one of the Commissioners under
the provisions of the interstate-commerce bill
Among Senators it is believed he will be ap-
pointed, if it will be acceptable to him. Under
the Constitution Of the United States, he is dis
qualified from holding the position till the end
Of his term in the Senate-March 4, next. It is
said the President is considering the advsability
of appointing, also, Senator Congsr, of Michi-
gan, and Representative Morrison, of Illinois,
who are disqualified for the same reason, namely,
that tho Office was created during the term to
which they were elected to Congress The Con-
stitution, however, dsqualifies to appoint
ment but it is held that to nominate is not to
appoint and that therefore, these may be NOM
mated and confirmed before the 4th of March,
and issuance of their commissions-the act of
appointment-be deferred till after that date.
"You may be sure of one thing in connection
with this interstatecommerce measure, and
that is that the President will not delay in the
appointment of the five commissioners, unless
he changes his mind, said Senator who stands
very near the throne at the White House. ''Mr
Cleveland had scores Of applications for these
positions weeks before the bill was finally
passed. III venture he has had fifty names sag
gested to him. directly snd indirectly. In fact,
he is being annoyed about these places. They
are more desirable than the membership of Con-
gress. They pay $500 year. have no side ex-
penses, and man can get ahead something, as
his travelling expenses are paid, in measure.
But there is another very desirable feature
about these positions which the lawyers who
want them are not losing sight of.
1t is that of equipment for an ex-
tensive practice. You see, after man
has served on this commission awhile be gets
into the swim of the law, and knows the practice
and procedure perfectly, and his services viii nc
demanded by the railroad companies at big fees.
There is going to be great many suits growing
out of violations and evasions Of this law, and
those who make it speciality will make money.
For awhile there will be suits to test the consti-
tutionalty of points in it. and, of course these
will be tried In the Supreme Court of the United
States, largely: but there will be suits in the
lower courts till one can't rest. It is my judg-
ment that practical railroad men, and not law
yers, should rule things on this commission, for
reason and common sense must have play, and
not the technicaities of the law, which will be
true if lawyers rule"

Gems for Thought.

Not every one that dances is glad.
There is no such thing as an insig-
nificant enemy.
1t is good thing to learn caution
by the misfortune of others.
The foolish and the dead alone
never change their opinions.
1t is long road paved with hope.
between what you expect and what
you get.
1t is as easy to draw back stone
threwn with force ny the hand, as to
recall a word once spoken.
When the forenoons of life are
wasted there is not much hope of a
peaceful and fruitful evening.
He that will not look before him
will have to look behind him-and
probably with some regret.
Failure. after long perseyerancee.is
much grander than never having
made an effort 10 succeed in BUSH
ness
True bravery is shown by perform
ing without witness what one
might be capable of doing before all
the world.
AS we grow in years and experience
we become more tolerant, for it is
rare to see fault we have not our
selves committed.
The best way to apologize is to do
such Kindness to the offended one
that he will forget that you ever at
tempted to injure him.
If we hope for what we are not
likely to possess, we act and think in
vain, and make life a greater dream
and shadow than it really is.
Love, whether newly born or
aroused from a death-tike slumber,
must always create sunshine, fill
ing the heart so full of radiance that
it Oyerf1oWs upon the outward world.
1t cannot be too deeply impressed
upon the mind that application is the
price to be paid for mental acquisi-
tons, and that is absurd to expect it
without it as it is to look for a harvest
without seeds.
Hope is the last thing that dies in
man, and though it is exceedingly
deceitful, yet it is of this good use to
US, that. while we are travelling
through this life, it conducts US in an
easier and more pleasant way to our
journeys end. -l1-->~
